| 16: JOEY!!! | 01 Feb 2023 | 01:34:17 | |
If you've been keeping up on the POD you may have heard his name once or twice 😉 The infamous Joey is finally joining us on Waking Up The Witch! Joey vulnerably shares his traumatic "coming" out(ted) story and how being raised by a family with very conservative beliefs kept him closeted and trying to pray the gay away. In his teenage years he became curious about the occult and the Salem Witch Trials but didn't feel safe sharing this with anyone until he was much older. He's now an empowered Gay man living his best witchy queer life in Denver. Joey and Amber helped awaken each other and essentially gave each other the safe space and permission slip to come out as witchy ~ And no, you don't have to be a woman to consider yourself a witch! They used to create magical moon rituals together while holding space for one another, and eventually many others who were witch curious. These 2 libras practically share the same brain and were absolutely made for each other 💕 We hope you enjoy getting to know Joey and feel inspired by his story. And if you ever need a permission slip to own your witchy-ness he will be holding the door open, ready to greet you with open arms!
